Discussion: The Origin of Love - Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Capital B

Girls, get in and discuss the most gut wrenchingly beautiful and undeniably epic love song of all time, The Origin of Love from Hedwig. I mean, when will your fave record such a stirring love song referencing the philosophies of Plato...?

Quote:

The last time I saw you, we had just split in two
You was looking at me, I was looking at you
You had a way so familiar, I could not recognize
'cause you had blood on your face
I had blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine

UGH.

I know this thread will not flop like this.

No Hedwig fans in the house?
Wig In A Box, anyone?

WaiT, I literally showed my friends this movie a few days ago, I'll tell Husky to get in this thread.

This song is absolutely beautiful, I forgot how much it defined my worldview until I saw it again today.

That last ****ing verse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other love song. Ever.

Yaaaaas, speak that truth!

I have yet to come across any other love song that gets me down deep like this. I agree that the ending > everything on Earth.

I credit this song for inspiring me to read Plato's Symposium in the first place (highly recommend it), which as you said, totally informed (and in some ways, reformed) my entire worldview.
